This came out the year I graduated high school. A crushing hardcore classic for sure that had the musical influence of Discharge, and took the political views of Crass, Chumbawamba, etc. I wasn't aware of two many animal rights bands back then, it was sort of a radical idea for sure. The tape made the rounds in the tape trading community for over 20 years. It was an obscure beaut that prolly had more influence on bands over seas then it did over here in the U.S.(until more recently I guess). I had a tape copy dubbed from my buddy Louis, who mainly loved anything from outside the states. He loved these guys even though they were from California. The tape disappeared years ago when in a move, I probably gave it away to a friend. Thanks to Charles for this one. The o.g. tape came from him along with a letter from the band, and lyric sheets.

ReplyDeletei like it as well. thank you
Love this demo. Was booted in the late 80s or early 1990s as a 7". Was officially reissued as a 7" a few years ago by a small US label.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of HEADCLEANERS.
Terveet Kadet was supposed to tour the US with Diatribe around 1989 but TK was refused entry to the states. There are actually some TK/Diatribe tour posters floating around but the tour never happened!
Cool to see this.We(DIATRIBE)did tour in 1985 without Terveet Kadet.
ReplyDeleteRecently reformed with original vocalist and new line up.

ReplyDeleteThe people saying they are the reformed Diatribe are imposters and nothing more than a cover band ala The Cured or Led Zepagain.
ReplyDeleteBernard the Frog: I'm the guitar player and person that started Ditaribe band and wrote all the songs. I was the one who used to trade stuff with the Cowboy Killers singer in the 80's.
ReplyDeleteYeah i just saw G.B.H. the only original member was Colin the singer.
ReplyDeleteSo i guess that makes them a fake
